Jerk chicken, looks exactly like this. I had one thigh and one drumstick + 1 cup rice and beans

I can't find anything that looks right in the database.

The breakdown for 2 drumsticks, 4 thighs, 2 cups of rice, 1/2 cup coleslaw is 1,826 calories

    That is a good picture. Yes close enough to bbq.
    (Both jerk and bbq vary depending on how much sugar or oil.)

    Thank you! The chicken I had was pretty fatty and sweet, so I'll look for a BBQ that looks like it might be close.

    (I wish I'd taken a pic like that :) It was delicious.)
